When Long Chen left the Jiuli Demonic Realm and came back through the Death World, Lingxi and Li Xuanji had already gathered on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
They gathered at the Divine Star of Destiny. When Long Chen arrived, Mo Xiaolang said, "They must have planned this. They hid for a long time before taking them away. Otherwise, it's impossible for them to disappear without a trace in such a short time."
Although they couldn't have gone far, there were countless directions on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, so there was no way to know where to go. These two kids were Long Chen's biggest sore spot at the moment, so it was unimaginable how angry he was at the moment.
Especially when he saw Lingxi and Li Xuanji's nervous and worried expressions, he was even angrier, and a cold killing intent was born in his heart. Lingxi and Li Xuanji also looked at Long Chen. No matter how bad things were now, they were still women who loved their kids deeply.
"Chen, no matter what, you must let them come back safely." Lingxi said this almost hoarsely.
"Let them pay with their blood."
Li Xuanji's eyes were hazy. She had always been colder than Lingxi, especially when others bullied her kids. That was also her sore spot.
"Don't worry. You guys look around and inform me if there's any news. I'm going to find someone."
For Long Chen and the others, this matter was too big. They needed Long Chen, the backbone, to deal with it. Lingxi and Li Xuanji were actually panicking at this moment.
"Okay."
"Xiao Lang, see if they left any traces nearby. As long as you can identify who they are, they won't be able to escape."
Mo Xiaolang was also nearby. He felt guilty for not taking care of the two kids, but now was not the time to blame himself. After all, no one was responsible. It was those who had evil intentions.
The person Long Chen was looking for was none other than Divine Ancestor Ke Ye. If he wasn't in his own world, then he would be the biggest suspect. Even if he was here, he wouldn't be able to clear himself of suspicion. This was because he was the only one who had seen Long Chen's son and daughter.
In a blink, Long Chen arrived at the Dark Night Ghost Realm.
What surprised him was that the Dark Night Saint Ancestor was here. He pretended that nothing had happened and leisurely walked out of the Dark Night Ghost Realm. When he saw Long Chen, he smiled and asked, "The famous new Ancestral Dragon has such a vast world. Why have you come to my small place?"
Long Chen wasn't in the mood to joke with him.
He was sure that it had something to do with Saint Ancestor Dark Night. From the look in the ancestor's eyes, there was no mistaking it. His wife and children were his biggest weakness. Half of his body was filled with rage, while the other half was filled with murderous intent.
"Soulslaying Sword."
Suddenly, the World Essence, Slaughter, appeared in his hand.
The ancestor's soul was infused into the attack, and the blood-red power of the World Essence swirled around the Slaughter.
"You!"
Sacred Ancestor Dark Night recognized the essence of the world. He hadn't expected Long Chen to do something like this. He cried out in alarm and hastily dodged to the side, summoning his world essence, the curtain of darkness, to defend himself.
"Whoosh."
However, Long Chen's brutal slaughter had once again pierced through the Curtain of Darkness and the ancestral soul. Ancestor Dark Night was gravely injured, and his ancestral soul was in excruciating pain. It was as if countless swords were piercing through his mind and will. That was a deadly pain that was difficult to endure.
"Are you dead?"
Long Chen reached out with his draconic claws, digging them deep into Saint Ancestor Dark Night's neck. He raised Saint Ancestor Dark Night in front of his eyes, the murderous intent in them almost piercing through him.
"You … you …."
Saint Ancestor Dark Night was so agitated that he couldn't speak. He'd underestimated Long Chen, thinking that Long Chen wouldn't dare do anything to him under the Ancestral Deity Alliance's rule.
"I'll give you one chance. Bring my children to me, and I'll give you three breaths of time, starting now."
The more enraged Long Chen became, the denser the draconic scales on his body. He was now a ferocious killing machine.
This matter didn't concern the survival of the myriad realms, but it was something he couldn't tolerate.
"How laughable. Your children aren't with me, so how am I supposed to bring them to you …."
At this point, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to continue. Saint Ancestor Dark Night was going to go back on his word.
Saint Ancestor Dark Night had the means to teleport from the Draconic Sacrificial Continent to here. The myriad realms were only so big, and there were so many Ancestor Gods. There was bound to be a way to teleport, and it wouldn't be any slower than Long Chen passing through the Death Reign.
Long Chen had given Saint Ancestor Dark Night a chance, but the latter still insisted. Long Chen unsheathed Carnage once more. This time, it was the Bloodwheel Sword, condensed with raging draconic blood. As Saint Ancestor Dark Night panicked, Long Chen released him and brandished his sword with both hands. Tens of thousands of slashes instantly pulverized Saint Ancestor Dark Night's flesh and blood.
"Ahhhhh …." Saint Ancestor Dark Night screamed. He hadn't expected Long Chen to be so cruel. Truth be told, he was filled with regret. But since he'd made his decision, he wasn't the type to give up so easily. Moreover, this had already happened. He couldn't reveal it, or he'd be done for in the myriad realms.
"You dare kill me? Aren't you afraid of the Ancestor God Alliance punishing you?" Saint Ancestor Dark Night was still shouting.
Swoosh.
Long Chen's Carnage pierced through the Dark Night's Curtain, forcing Saint Ancestor Dark Night to continue suffering. The Ancestral Dragon of Slaughter's World Origin was attacking his World Origin, inflicting grievous torture on him.
"Saint Ancestor Dark Night, of all the Ancestor Gods, you're the only one who knows that I have a son and a daughter. You're the only one who's ever seen them, and you're the only one who knows that I have a son and a daughter. You're the only one who's ever seen them, and you're the only one among the Ancestor Gods who knows that I have a son and a daughter.
Long Chen's callous gaze, icy voice, and murderous sword made Divine Ancestor Dark Night regret his decision. However, he was now riding a tiger and unable to back down, so he braced himself. After all, it was a pleasure to make Long Chen so anxious. He shouted, "Then let me tell you, I have no idea what happened to your children. It has nothing to do with me. Long Chen, what do you think you can do to me? Do you know that I'm the creator of the Dark Night Ghost Realm? I'm the origin of the world. Do you dare to kill me? If you kill me, these trillions of lives will die because of you. Do you dare to kill me?"
Saint Ancestor Dark Night was very relaxed. Long Chen had once risked his life for the sake of all life, and that was his weakness. Protecting the myriad worlds was his duty, and Long Chen valued the lives of all living beings. There was no way he would kill Saint Ancestor Dark Night.
Indeed, if Long Chen were to weigh the pros and cons of a world with trillions of lives, it would be difficult for him to deal with Dragon Face and Dragon Qilin. However, Long Chen wouldn't let this eighth era's Ancestor God stumble.
"Indeed, I can't kill you, but I can make your life a living hell. You'll regret being alive if my son and daughter don't return." He wasn't boasting, but he would definitely do a good job.
His murderous intent was simply too strong.
Saint Ancestor Dark Night was already gravely injured, and as long as Long Chen controlled his strength and didn't destroy the world's origin, he could torture Saint Ancestor Dark Night to his heart's content.
Lingxi had learned more powerful curses like the one used on the Dragon God, so he could use them on Saint Ancestor Dark Night. Long Chen was certain that this had something to do with him, so he was prepared to summon Lingxi and force him to submit.
However, Saint Ancestor Dark Night bellowed, "You're too arrogant! You're no longer the ruler of myriad worlds. You're just an insignificant character here. So what if you can defeat me? Do you think the Ancestral God Alliance will let you do as you please?"
As Saint Ancestor Dark Night roared, a beam of blue light came from afar. It was a ball of pure liquid, water. This ball of water took the shape of a person in front of Long Chen. It was a blue-haired old man with a slightly stooped back. His eyes were calm and emotionless. Upon seeing this, he said, "Long Chen, hurry up and release Saint Ancestor Dark Night."
Clearly, this Ancestor God wasn't too far away, and it was Saint Ancestor Dark Night who had called him over. Long Chen naturally recognized this Ancestor God. When his world had descended into the myriad worlds, Long Chen had paid him a visit, just like how he had paid a visit to Devil Ancestor Chiyou. Long Chen's world was the Myriad Celestial Seas, and this person was the Heavenly Wu Water Ancestor, a true sovereign of the laws of water.
Azure Ancestor God and the others were far inferior to the Heavenly Wu Water Ancestor when it came to the laws of water.
That's right, this seemingly simple Ancestor God was a Fifth Era Ancestor God, which was why he occupied a position in the Ancestral God Alliance.
He was one of the hundred or so Fifth Era Ancestor Gods.
"I told you to release him. As fellow Ancestor Gods, we should live in harmony and help each other. You shouldn't have taken his life and destroyed his world, even if you once saved it."
Long Chen knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything to Saint Ancestor Dark Night if the Heavenly Wu Water Ancestor acted. He knew that Saint Ancestor Dark Night had called him over. He pondered for a moment. "Now that someone from the Ancestral God Alliance has arrived, Saint Ancestor Dark Night will have someone to rely on. It won't be very likely for him to force me. Therefore, it might be possible to let the Ancestral God Alliance deal with this."
After all, he was the benefactor of all Ancestor Gods. He was the one who had been threatened, and the Ancestor God Alliance had no reason to not support him.
"Fine."
With that, Long Chen released Saint Ancestor Dark Night. Saint Ancestor Dark Night hurriedly hid behind the Heavenly Wu Water Ancestor. At this time, the Heavenly Wu Water Ancestor frowned and said, "Long Chen, what's wrong with you? The Ancestral God Alliance has just been established, and you're the first to cause trouble. You even forced Saint Ancestor Dark Night to this extent. You're openly challenging the authority of the Ancestral God Alliance. The myriad worlds have their own rules. I can't break them just because you saved them."
